Multitude of advanced NMR experiments such as Pulse Field Gradient, Relaxation, NOE techniques and other Multi-Nuclear NMR experiments offer excellent opportunities to probe structure and dynamics of ionic liquids.

Self-diffusion of molecules provide information about their translational dynamics, solvation, aggregation and even conformation. In ionic liquids, diffusion is the process of transport of charges via cations or anions, which when combined with impedance analysis provide insights into ion-pair dynamics.

Spectral resolution is the key for thorough characterization of materials in NMR spectroscopy. It is possible to obtain superior resolution beyond what is obtained via routine techniques in a couple of ways. Novel experiments dedicated for obtaining ultra-high resolution could be followed. Improved resolution could also be achieved by simply fine tuning often overlooked NMR parameters.

Dynamic NMR spectroscopy offers a simple means to determine bond rotation rates, barrier to the rotation and thermodynamic parameters (via Eyring plots). It is important to remember that sample temperature, solvent and also magnetic field strengths govern the onset/offset of coalescence.

Computational chemistry is a complementary tool for experimental investigations. We use computational calculations along with experimental techniques to understand molecular interactions in ionic liquids. We also use them to investigate reaction mechanisms, especially the mechanism of CO2 capture in ionic liquids.
